The nature area's most popular (if least natural) point of interest, this is a landscaped pond with a footbridge, surrounded by messy greenery including many tree ferns. Well-suited for unambitious walkers, it's accessible from the entrance by a short walk along a wide paved road or a pretty evergreen forest path.

賞鳥步道
A good strenuous short hike: 1.4 km along a well-maintained trail with a climb of about 200 meters (stone steps), passing through something like the area's natural montane broadleaf forest.
空中走廊
A wooden canopy walk among the cedar trees.
溪頭銀杏橋
Maybe the most photogenic architectural feature in the nature area - a wooden footbridge in a wavy shape with two humps.
登山步道
A strenous short hike, climbing 400 m in 1.3 km from where it branches off the Bird Watching Trail to its end near the Observatory, crossing the switchback roads in a couple of places
溪頭神木
A massive, old-growth Taiwan Red Cypress tree stood here for thousands of years, standing out as the only remaining natural-growing evergreen conifer tree in the area until it fell in 2016. Today there's a boardwalk that allows to you walk around part of enormous fallen log, which is being allowed to return to nature, covered with thousands of smaller forest understory plants.
鳳凰山巨石
A house-sized boulder that tumbled down the mountain during the 1999 Jiji Earthquake (921). Now already partially overgrown with plant life. Access via a short but steep paved trail.
